When History Repeated Itself B, IN A WRIGHT H ANSON IvpyngU. IW4, by Ilia i linani Miss Eugenie Burnett looked discon tentedly across tin* veranda at her blond cousin in the cushion piled ham mock. "You've no business to be so pretty, Julia Knox, and to look so absurdly young. You are just as old as I am, and that is twenty "Hush!" Hie little widow sat up quickly. "You mustn't. Eugenie. If we think we are young and never ac knowledge that we are not young we'll fool the people into thinking"— " 'A pocket edition of blue and gold,' " continued Eugenie morosely. "That's what Dr. Hunt called you, and it suits you too. 1 tell you, Julia, it's little short of tragedy to worship beauty as 1 do and he homely as a hedge fence myself!" "The cypress hedge fence at the foot of my garden is beautiful, I think," said the widow, lying back auioug her cushions again. "Find another simile, Eugenie." The girl turned away impatiently with smarting eyes She was so tired of the continually booming breakers and drearily whistling buoy. She wish ed she hadn't come to California to visit Julia Kuox. It' Julia weren't a widow or if Dr. Hunt weren't spend ing hi* vacation here or If Julia weren't so pretty and she so plain or if"-- "Eugenie, dear" Mrs. Knox looked out of half shut, baby blue eyes—"do you think it was prearranged for you and Frankie Hunt and me to play to gether as children and meet again at Santa Cruz as grownups' Don't you think thai L>r.

When a tall young man came around the porch corner he saw only Mrs Knox Her cousin had disappeared As Eugenie entered her room her cousin's clear tones floated through the open window "She is having one of her npells again because she isn't a Helen of ltoy, and it reminds me of our school days I>o \ou remember when she cut off 1 lii'.r in a rage because It was brov.i and straight instead of yellow . and curly like mine?" "Now. 1 rail that mean of Julia," Eu genie thought, her face growing crlm- ! son •< she heard them laugh. If she , had i >t shut the window Just then she j might have heard the doctor's answer. "No one but Eugenie thinks her face j isn't good to look at." By and by Julia ascended the stairs , and tapped at her cotißin's door. "Dr. Hunt has his auto here and wishes us to ride with him. Get your hut and come on." "Thanks I have another engage ment." "All right," answered the widow sweetly. "I'll try to make up for your , absence." "I don't doubt It," observed Eugenia. Mrs. Knox went down live steps and paused. She wrinkled her white brow unbecomingly, sighed and went back. ; "Honey," she called softly, her pretty lips at the keyhole, "did no one ever ( tell you that along with the Bamett nose you Inherited the Barnett trick of making folks like you?" Eugenie's grim features relaxed. "Good little Julia," she sighed as the red auto puffed away. Her mind trailed back Into the past. .She was a little, dark faced girl again, playing with Frankie Hunt, her sworn champion until her cousin, Julia Epps, j came to school. Personified daintiness was Julia Epps, from the blue bow on her yellow curls to the black bows on her tiny slippers. One miserable, lonely noon hour Eu genic peered around the beech tree where she and he had always played to gether and saw something the memory j of which even after a dozen years made a green flame leap into the wo- ' man Eugenie's eyes. Frankie Hunt was pnttii g on Julia Epps' finger the i;? ilau oeen digging out ot a blat,. button for her, Eugenie Bar nett. Another day she and Julia sat on Ju lia's mother's porch eating cookies. 5 With her free hand Julia smoothed her ruflled white apron complacently. "He says he loves me the best ot unybody." she announced coquet tishly. "Tomorrow is the last day of school," answered her cousin, "and my mamma says I may wear my lovely new dress Then you'll se»* whom he likes best." The fair Julia tossed her golden curls and answered grandly, "I think dresses won't make any difference In Ala love." "You'll see." Eugenie replied darkly That night Eugenie braided her some what curtailed tresses into numerous tight little braids Next day, arrayed In the new dress how well she re membered the gay »-*aiUß—with flutter ing ribbons, kinav locks and the mien of a conqueror, she entered the school room after the other children wer* seated. With cleverly assumed carelessness she glanced in Julia's direction. That young lady was wearing the same dress she had worn several times be fore, and, glory, that -nine old white apron! Eugenie wore no apron. She had been forced to start with one, tint it was lying ingloriously under a stone In a fence corner Retribution lay within its crumpled folds, but retrlbu tlon could wait. Just before recess she looked at Frankie Hunt.

"History sometimes repeats itself," she remarket! I don't see now why Julia Knox" A half mile from Mrs. Knox's cot tage the red au: >. pulling back, came upon a surprising sight. A young wo man. lo iking at once defiant and apolo getic, c, lite dress mud spattered and blood stained, her brown hair blown about by ;i saucy sea breeze, stood by the r ladside holding In her arms a dilapidated yellow mongrel, one let: swathed stiff in plaid silk band ages. "Eugenie, where in the world are you going with that dirty dog?" shrill ed the widow. "Home," answered Eugenie laconical ly, turning toward a short cut across the hill "What's this?" and Dr. Hunt stepped out of the auto "Broken leg, eh? Well, old fellow, you are in luck to get a capable surgeon in your hour of calam ity Silk bandages, too. 1 wonder if the splints are gold or Ivory " "I had forgotten my handkerchief, so I had to use my neck ribbon," she ex plained. starting to go. "Get in here, Genie!" He used the pet name as iu the old days. "This Is better than walking." "Oh. don't!" shrieked Julia Knox. "Don't get In here with that awful dog! 1 can't bear the sight of blood!" t»he closed her eyes shudderlngly. The little dog whined softly and tried to lick Eugenie's face. Her pulse leap ed as she met the doctor's eyes. "You did it scientifically, aud you aren't a bit pale Shouldn't you like to be a doctor?" "Or a doctor's wife?" suggested Julia j Knok. a trifle maliciously. "Will you, dear?" he asked eagerly, watching the color flood her dark cheek "Will you be this doctor's j \\ ife?" "Well!" suid the pretty widow explo sively, "I guess I'm not needed here. Eugenie, If you can guarantee that little beast not to bite I suppose I can | take him home for you." "I can't," said Eugenie happily, start ! lug for the third time across the hill. "But," interposed the doctor, "you haven't answered my question. Will j you lie my girl. «ienie?"

As if scorning to hold conversation with the official, she thus addressed bis lordship: "My lord, I won't be tried here at all I'll be tried by my Lord E." The simplicity of the woman, coupled with the well known character of E., caused a roar of laughter In the court which even the liench could not resist Baron S., with his usual mildness, was about to explain the Impossibility of her being tried by the popular Judge ! and said, "He can't try you," when \ the woman stopped him short and, with an Inimitable sneer, exclaimed: "Can't try me?

Everybody under- j stands the nature of a sprain; that ! wrenching of a joint whereby some of j j the ligaments (those very useful bands i which unite the bones forming tne , joint! are violently stretched or per j haps even ruptured. This kind of in jury is rarely, except through unusual ; i complications, dangerous in its nature, , ! but it is certainly very painful and j i when of a serious nature may result In the permanent impairment of the join*', i Such an injury, If at all severe, is im mediately followed by marked swell- j lug of the parts, and prompt attention j should be given anticipating the sur- j 1 geon's coming. The very first item in the treatment of a sprain is perfect rest of the limb until a doctor can be summoned. Reduce the swelling by applications of hot fomentations as hot : as can be endured, changing about ! once In every three hours. If a piece of oilskin be not at hand use common newspaper. Wind it carefully outside j the hot cloth. This will prevent the escape of Ihe steam and prevent the cloth from cooling. A good way to save the hands from being scalded is to place the hot. dripping flannel in a j towel, then, taking hold of each end of the towel, to wring it until the flannel ; Is dry enough to apply.

Turkish j is the leaf of N'icotiana rustica, while Virginia is N'icotiana augustipolia Of course the two are often blended by to j bacconists. Again, what constitutes the dift'er | cnce lietween "strong" and "inild" to baccos? It is simple enough. The strong j product is so manufactured that it ' burns slowly, the result being that the | contained nicotine is distilled in an un | altered state. Mild tobaccos are those I which burn well, and thus their con ! tained nicotine 1* consumed or decom- I posed, with the result that a less nar i cotie smoke is formed.

A Practice Mint Doe* Not Help tiie Knitliih nuifc. Why do people persist in using French words when there are good old English words to serve the purpose? It is a habit tiiat is growing daily. For instance, at dinner people give you "menu" instead of "bill of fare," though the items are such English j dishes as boiled cod, roast beef and ap ple tart. One is accommodated with a serviette instead of a napkin, an Eng lish word, but originally of French or igin, as is the Scotch word napery, used for household linen. When you enter a shop you are served with cor sets instead of stays, costumes by a costumlere instead of dresses by a dressmaker. "Blouses" take the place of shirts or waists, and hose are of fered for stockings. The former word is, however, English. At the theater we have programmes instead of play bills and matinees in place of afternoon performances. Toques are adjusted with as much ease »s hats, and we eat in a restaurant as cheerfully as in a dining room There are. of course, un translatable words which must be used, but our good old English lan guage is rapidly becomiug a hotch potch of foreign words, while telegra phy is doing it« best to oust all the crisp and racy speech. When ever possible let us determine to use an English instead of a French word, both in literature aud conversation.— London tlraphi'. BOILING WATER.

"No first class metropolitan hotel is thoroughly equipped until It possesses an assortment of flags almost as com plete as that of an admiral's flagship," ! remarked the manager of a prominent caravansary. "The leading hotels in the great cities have use for flags of ali nations some time or other. Hotels are pretty nearly as punct ,ions in observing certain lit- j tie ceremonies when distinguished visit j ors arrive as are naval fleets. If some high official of a foreign country is ; staying in the house It is the proper thing to display his nation's colors. As all big hotels are likely to entertain home and foreign diplomats, army or } navy officers, or even members of royal ; families, you can see where there , is a necessity for an assortment of flags. "The InUel may not possess a com plete outfit to begin with, but as time 1 rolls alotm and distinguished men of all lands are entertained the collection of bunting K continually added to. Then there are the many fraternal or gani/.ations which make one hotel or another their headquarters on the oc casion of annual celebrations.
